windows-msvc Zip Archive Servo Developer Nightly Snapshots Working?

[Hoa But]

Hello Servo Community,

I felt the nightly snapshots are good enough to run some tests on Servo.
However, the Zip archive does not seem work properly.
>From the link

https://download.servo.org/nightly/windows-msvc/servo-latest.zip

I unzip the whole archive to a folder and ran servo.exe but only the splash
screen
comes up and then it seems Servo browser closes/exits as I did not see any
errors in Event viewer or any other places I can think of at the moment.
>From the extracted contents I can see that resources are there.

Any ideas?

Maybe I really do need to do my own builds.


Thank you.

Best,

Hoa

What if you run servo.exe from a command terminal? Is there any
interesting output?

Hello Josh,

I did run servo.exe from the command terminal and again no interesting output.
According to GitHub there are servo.exe command line switches such as '-Z' but that did not output anything either.

Hmmm .. really like the nightly snapshots to work .. probably have to build it myself from GitHub ..

Best,

Hoa
